Good to hear a staff member say that...
you sir are missing on some ear candy
I once help up a RDF group becase I was tank and had to take a dump.
Benefit of being a tank. Hard to replace.
Fair enough, my friends play the mode aswell. None of them plays it cuz the mode is fun, they want the items to sell them on the market for the new luna set (I admit, that set has swag).
Russians all over the US servers, you'd want to synchronize with them over chat but that'll never work.
Oh yeah. teach me how to get S on new blossom beast.
Russians are literally a plague in dota, they play on every single server, US, EU, SEA. You can get complains from all server about russians, never seen that in any other game before.
I can tell from playing on my alt account that the trench is the russian bracket. I'm not kidding when I say that 80% of the people are non english speaking russians, this is from actual experience, not just ****ty rumors. The moment you get higher in rating the non english speaking once will be replaced with english speaking russians that are decent. Of course you will still lose 10-15 IQ points from some games, but it really gets a lot better.
Uninstall, quit the game, get sober, etc

Since it's impossible for me to get past 3200 solo rating and 3300 team rating (just my friend and I). We get teamed up with South American players. They're also pretty bad and they always try to carry..REGARDLESS OF HERO.
Oh, I'm playing IO. TIME TO GET SHADOWBLADE AND RAPIER....Wards? Wat? Mek???????????????????????????????????????????WAT? Need Rapier.
Well, I can give you 3 tips.
1) Don't be too focused on playing with your friend (as in same lane). Yes it's nice if you can dual lane and he's a good support, but if those roles are taken, try to adapt. My personal role in dota 2 is middle, but I can play the hardcarry role aswell. I can jungle if I have to but only with a very small selection of hero's. My friend (I nearly always play only with 1 extra player) plays hard support or offlane, those are our roles and we can fit nearly into every line up.
2) If you wanna boost your rating, focus on hero's that you are really great at. If you don't have one yet, then try to build up a pool of atleast 3. They shouldn't have a simular weakness tho.
3) Having synergy with your friend is the best tip I can give you. If you dual lane then try to figure out which hero combo fits you the best and try to get a good understanding of what it counters (or gets countered by).
This is how I pushed ratings back in HoN, when I was a tryhard lol.
How on earth do you lose as a hunter vs a mage? did you just stand there and take it?
Did you not read the combat log?
Nah, my combat log bugged and it goes from bottom to top.
Basically, I got hit with a Frostbolt/Ice Lance from Africa, and then as I went to hit the mage, I got hit with a 55k Ice Lance.
Two seconds, and I got 100-0'd.
I know the feels, I BG'd on my mage last night and just blew people up.. Frost Mage such skill... NOT.
